Our manufacturing sites located in Clonmel, Cork and Galway, Ireland, generate cleaner energy produced from fossil fuels, based on high-efficiency technologies such as combined heat and power (CHP) in comparison to conventional power generation (gas, oil or coal-fired power stations).

Kerkrade, European Centre of Operations

Boston Scientific’s European distribution centre is based in Kerkrade, Netherlands. Here, all our medical products are dispatched to hospitals across the globe.

All of the site’s electrical power is sourced from European wind farms and purchasing carbon compensated natural gas, resulting in net zero carbon for energy use for the site.

Lean and Green Star Program

Lean & Green is Europe’s leading program for sustainable logistics.

The program encourages organisations to achieve a higher level of sustainability by taking measures that not only yield cost savings, but simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Clean Energy

Clean energy is produced by renewable energy or from fossil fuels, based on high-efficiency technologies such as combined heat and power (CHP) in comparison to conventional power generation (gas, oil or coal-fired power stations).

In 2017 our three manufacturing sites in Clonmel, Cork and Galway, Ireland, generated 57% of their energy using cleaner technologies, reducing carbon emissions.

Spotlight on: Kerkrade

Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the most widely used third-party verification for green buildings. In December 2017, our European distribution centre in Kerkrade, Netherlands was awarded the LEED Silver Certification.

The renovation, aligned with our global design guidelines, allows to reduce energy consumption through the use of LED lights, daylight control and presence detection, and provide a safer work environment, thanks to anti-allergic materials. The work spaces encourage formal and informal interaction with a seamless technological experience. The result is a new way of working, that promotes health and wellness.
